A video showing an Indian national allegedly assaulting two Nigerian truck drivers along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has sparked outrage on social media.
The video, shared on X on Monday by a user identified as @Lagosreporters_, showed the man flogging one of the drivers with a stick while the other was restrained by his associates.
According to reports accompanying the footage, the Indian national owns a business located along the expressway.
The post was captioned, “Truck Drivers Mr. Riliwan Olajide and Taiwo Yinusa Beaten by Indian Nationals, Owners of Karma Agric Feed & Foods Ltd Located at Km 12, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, in Conjunction with Hoodlums.”
In the video, some members of the man’s staff were seen demanding the truck keys from the drivers. The drivers reportedly resisted, insisting that the trucks belonged to them and refusing to surrender the keys.
The confrontation subsequently escalated, with the staff allegedly attempting to forcefully seize the keys.
During the altercation, the Indian national was seen striking the drivers with a stick, while one of them was kicked as he lay on the ground, restrained by the man’s associates.
Some staff members were also heard shouting, “You dey fight our boss,” as the confrontation unfolded.
The circumstances surrounding the incident, including the reason the truck keys were demanded and what led to the confrontation, remained unclear as of the time of filing this report.
There was also no immediate information on whether the incident had been reported to the police or whether the individuals and company mentioned in the social media post had responded to the allegations.
